DIANDRIA. TRIANDRIA. 



Grac. t. 1, Blitum, Curt. Mag. t. 276, and a few 

 plants besides. 



CLASS 2. Diandria. Stamens 2. Orders 3. 



Monogynia. This, the most natural and numerous 

 Order, comprehends the elegant and fragrant Jas- 

 the Jasmine, Lilac, Olive, &c. also Ve- 



ronica, Engl. Bot. t. 2, 1027, 623, 783, c. and 

 a few labiate flowers with naked seeds, as Salvia, 

 Engl. Bot. t. 153, 154, Rosemary, &c., natural 

 allies of the fourteenth class; but having only two 

 stamens, they are necessarily ranged here in the 

 artificial system. 



2. Digynia consists only of Anthoxanthum, a grass, 

 Engl. Bot. t. 647, which, for the reason just given, 

 is separated from its natural family in the third class. 



3. Trigynia lias only Piper, the Pepper, a large 

 tropical genus. 



CLASS. 3. Trlandrla. Stamens 3. Orders 3. 



K Monogynia. Vakriana, Engl. Bot.t. 698, 1591 

 and 1 53 1 , is placed here because most of its species 

 have three stamens. See Class 1. Here also we 

 find the sword-leaved plants, so amply illustrated in 

 Curtis's Magazine, Iris, Gladiolus, Ixia, &c\, also 

 Crocus, Engl. Bot. t. 343, 344, 491, and nume- 

 rous grass-like plants, Schcenus, Cyperus, Scirpus, 

 see Fl. Grac. v. 1, and Engl. Bot. t. 950, 1309, 

 542, 873, &c,
